A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 210 Uncooperative Officials

Lao Zhang is a nice guy. He wants to talk to Lao Tian when he gets home in the evening.

When the others heard this, they all grumbled to themselves.

It seems that Old Zhang has caught the eye of the county lady's father.

"Thank you, sir."

Old Zhang clasped his fists happily.

He brought more than thirty craftsmen to Linhai Town to ask for work. As the leader, he was responsible for his subordinates, so he was naturally happy to hear the good news.

"Everyone, please disperse. My servants will bring water over later. Anyone who needs it can come and get it."

Huang Bo finished speaking, without even looking at their expressions, and asked Tang Qian beside him, "Boss Tang, are you going to Xiushan Village?"

"Yes." Tang Qian replied: "It just so happens that I have some business matters that I need to consult with some county ladies. I want her to give me some advice."

The people around them were about to leave, but some people who were nearby heard their conversation and slowed down their pace.

Huang Bo saw it out of the corner of his eye and said, "Okay, go ahead. I'll take my kid to Qiling County to have a look."

"Ok."

The two went their separate ways.

When the people around saw that there was nothing to find out, they all dispersed.

There were three or five figures gathered together, and it was unknown what they were discussing.

Old Zhang saw it, thought about it, said nothing, and turned away.

Huang Bo went back to the West Street in the town and found a few familiar merchants. He paid them to help find someone to fetch well water and deliver it to the outside of the city gate. Then the three of them got on Fang Zheng's carriage and headed for Qiling County.

When they arrived at the county town just after noon, they first found a place to eat and asked the waiter for the location of the tent sales.

"Oh, it sells tents. There's one over at the East Street entrance."

The waiter answered enthusiastically.

"Thank you, little brother."

After eating, they asked people along the way and found the shop, and bought all the tents in the shop.

But the carriage could not transport all the tents back at once. Huang Bo thought about it and took his sons to find the county's escort agency, intending to pay the agency to send people to transport the tents to Linhai Town.

When the escort leader who received the goods heard that the goods were to be delivered to Linhai Town, he was very enthusiastic. After some enquiries, he learned that the county lord wanted to build a temporary structure to accommodate the craftsmen and merchants who were flocking to the town. He quickly agreed to arrange for personnel to deliver the goods immediately.

After paying the money, Huang Bo and his sons got on a carriage and returned to Linhai Town.

Huang Qilin and Huang Jinlin followed Huang Bo silently as he ran around, and invisibly learned some ways of dealing with things, benefiting a lot.

"Second brother, do you think the officers will honestly follow Mu Mu's request?"

On this side, Huang Haolin and Huang Xilin were on their way to the dental clinic, and Huang Xilin asked.

Although he was the one who proposed this, he did not feel confident.

"Half and half."

Huang Haolin was also thinking about what to say so that the officers would be willing to do these things.

After all, it has always been the style of officials not to release the eagle until they see the rabbit.

They have been living freely in Linhai Town for so many years. Even though Huang Mulin has become a county lady, she has not arranged anything for them or asked them to do anything in the past few years. It seems that the officials have become bolder and more lazy.

The two brothers came to the pawnshop, found the manager in charge, and relayed Huang Mulin's words to him.

"Do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"

Huang Haolin asked.

"It fits! It fits perfectly!"

The manager's eyes narrowed with joy.

Not only did he solve the accommodation problem, he also created a new business model, and with the support of the government, this county lord is truly a capable person.

"That's it, you go and ask around first, write down the ones you're interested in, and we'll go to the government office."

"Okay, take care, young masters."

After seeing off the Huang brothers, the manager immediately called his agents to arrange the matter.

"I'll go talk to you later. Please help me observe and supplement it."

Huang Haolin said to Huang Xilin.

"Ok."

They arrived at the yamen, the door was wide open, and they could vaguely hear the sound of laughter from inside.

The two brothers looked at each other and walked into the yamen.

Three officers were sitting crookedly on chairs and talking, while the other two were nowhere to be found.

One of the officers saw them, frowned, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Huang Haolin was not afraid and directly explained his purpose: "I am the county lord's second brother Huang Haolin, and I came here to discuss some things with you officials."

When they heard Huang Haolin say that he was Huang Mulin's brother, the three of them immediately jumped up from their chairs and stood up straight.

With a hypocritical smile on his face, "Oh, it's the young masters~ If you have anything to say, tell me! I will definitely crush you to pieces without hesitation!"

What you said sounds quite nice.

Huang Haolin didn't care what they thought and directly told them Huang Mulin's arrangements.

But he did not yet say that Huang Mulin would give them performance bonuses.

"this......"

The three of them looked at each other, and no one responded.

The momentum I just said, "I'll do whatever you say," seems like a joke.

Huang Xilin felt somewhat disappointed when he saw the officer's behavior.

He wanted to take Enke's path mainly because he had the ambition to serve his country while also having the capital to protect his family. Also, because he really loved reading, it was a win-win situation.

But reality is a bit cruel.

It's not enough to just get a good grade in the exam and become an official.

One must also have the means and methods to govern the people under one's command in order to truly serve the people.

In recent years, he has also realized that it is easier to get things done with money. Even officials who receive salaries from the court are basically unwilling to make any efforts without benefits.

Yang Lijun said that this is normal.

This is contrary to Tiangang’s normal state.

Huang Xilin was angry, disgusted, and disdainful. But at the same time, he also understood that these emotions were just a manifestation of his incompetence and that he had no ability to change the status quo.

Even his teacher, Grand Tutor Zhao, could not change.

Yang Lijun also said that even though Yu Zhenzhou was a super-first-rank minister, it would be difficult for him to change.

There are no fish in clear water.

"Is there any difficulty?"

Huang Haolin asked deliberately.

"Well..." one of the men who seemed to be the leader answered, "It's not impossible...but we still have work to do at the government office, so I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it..."

"But I don't think anything's wrong."

Huang Haolin glanced around and saw that even the paperwork was piled high.

"this......"

The man didn't know how to prevaricate for a moment.

If it was someone else, they could have sent them away at will, but not them. These two guys were the county lord's brothers, and they couldn't be offended, otherwise their lives would be over.

They thought that Huang Mulin was little and not a big threat (?), but Huang Mulin had the mighty figure of the Duke of Zhenguo behind him.

If Huang Haolin and Huang Xilin knew that these people missed their sisters so much, they would probably laugh their heads off.

Huang Mulin is kindhearted, but that doesn't mean she has no tricks. If these thoughts were heard by the three little pets, they would probably turn to ashes.

The three little ones in the family are the ones who dote on Huang Mulin the most.

"What about the other two?"

Huang Xilin suddenly asked.

"One is taking a day off, and the other is going to North Street to do some work."

"Is anyone taking a day off tomorrow?"

"Not really."

Huang Haolin nodded and said, "We don't trust other people to check on the outsiders. Let's ask the other two people at the end of the morning hour tomorrow. Maybe when we have more people, we can discuss and come up with a set of rules?"
